ABSTRACT
This work deals with the
optimization of the icing process in an ice storage system. It is focused on the
improvement of the icing behavior, which is to be achieved by different heat exchanger
geometries in the ice storage tank. Therefore, CFD simulations were implemented
to acquire and visualize the flow conditions, the temperature behavior and the growth
of the ice layer during the cooling process. The results are compared and validated
with model experiments on an experimental ice storage. It could be shown that the
heat extraction of current technologies can be increased by more than 50% by using
geometries that are more efficient.
KEYWORDS
